Salsa Fresca

Prep time 5 minutes

Makes ~1.5-2cups

This was a quick attempt when we ran out of salsa, and it turned into something beautiful!  It makes about 1 1/2C, so roughly what you get when you buy salsa.

Since Fuego can’t eat onions (texture issue), I used onion powder, but most of the rest was fresh!

1 medium-to-large jalapeño 

6 pearl tomatoes (about 1/2lb)

1t fresh cilantro

1 minced clove of fresh garlic

Juice of 1 lime

Two pinches (~1/8t) onion powder 

Pinch (~1/16t) chili powder

Pinch ground cumin

Pinch salt

Small pinch black pepper

Prep fresh veggies (wash and remove stems). In small insert-bowl of Cuisinart, using the small chopping blade, dice jalapeño.  Add remaining fresh ingredients and pulse until desired texture.

Pour into a bowl and add spices to desired proportions.  Stir with a fork, taste, and adjust as necessary.

Enjoy.
